Front Mission 3 is a tactical role-playing game for the PlayStation, created by Square and released in Japan on September 9, 1999, and later in North America on March 22, 2000. It is based on the near-future of the real world, circa 2112.

It was the first title in the Front Mission series to be released in North America, courtesy of Square Electronic Arts.

Front Mission 3 is a turn-based strategy RPG, where the player goes through a series of battles interspersed with cutscenes. The player's party consists of several playable characters (PCs) and the robots they pilot, referred to as Wanzers. Wanzers are customisable, consisting of four parts: body, two arms, and legs. An optional backpack can also be attached, which can either be an item container or a turbo backpack. Fresh wanzers can also be assembled from scratch.

Battles take place on maps divided into a grid of tiles. The player may deploy a maximum of four units, and gets the first move. Each team moves all their units before the turn switches to the other team. In certain maps, the player will have allied units that may also be in need of protection. On the same note, the enemy could deploy reinforcements on later turns. Enemy units are defeated by destroying the Wanzers, directly killing the pilots, or forcing them to surrender. Most battles are won through the destruction or surrender of all enemy units. The player can also access new combat skills by meeting certain conditions involving their Wanzer's parts and weapons.

In between battles the story progresses through a series of semi-interactive cutscenes, referred to as "Intermissions." The player may save the game at any point during an intermission. Player characters each have an email address, as well as a shared one for the team. This is mostly for receiving messages, although characters can only reply to certain messages with predefined replies. There is also a virtual network set up as a sort of mini-internet, containing websites which can be accessed after their addresses are discovered, either through interaction with NPCs, reading hints on other websites, or through the email system.
